Frenectomy

Frenectomy

A frenum or frenulum is a small “band” of tissue located in the mouth: under the tongue, inside the upper lip, inside the lower lip and connecting the tongue, cheek or lip to the gums. A frenectomy is a simple surgical procedure to release these bands.

a frenectomy is usually performed  to increase the range of motion of the tongue (removing the lingual frenum) or to assist closing a gap in a patient’s upper front teeth (removing the labial frenum). If untreated, excessive frena may allow gum tissue to be pulled away from adjacent teeth. This can lead to root exposure and periodontal problems.

Today was my first visit to Ellenwood Dental. The entire office staff is so welcoming. Brooke is an amazing, kind and caring Dental Assistant. She explained everything to me in detail as we went along. Dr. Goel was so nice and also explained everything to me. Pointed out all the issues and what could be done to fix them. I even ran into my old hygienist from my old dentist. I felt right at home there. Last but not least I met with wonderful Sherry, the Office Manager. She was a very kind person. Honestly, when it comes to figuring out the financial end, it's stressful. I appreciate all she does and I'm sure will continue to do.
